# CogniPen vs Cloudless Scan

The clearest difference is iOS requirement: CogniPen at 13.0 against Cloudless Scan's 18.6. On price, ads, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. CogniPen sells 2 in-app purchases, starting at $9.99 per month and Cloudless Scan sells 1 one-off in-app purchase. Whichever you choose, the download price is not the number that matters.
